Tough question! I had to do a google search for irish quilt images to see what color options are out there. Try as I did, I did not see anything with a gold background that kept the focus on the quilt blocks. The most focus for those beautiful squares you made would be white (classic Irish), or a super pale green or super dark green value. I've attached pictures including a cute one with orange (not gold -- sorry) to show off the Irish flag. An interesting idea was white with green polka dots....
Addendum: Maybe that first image (Irish lace) with its pale background can be considered a gold? I see it as pale green....
